It is hard to support unity with clowns like John Woodcock in the Labour Party

What fantasy world is John Woodcock inhabiting?

Mr Woodcock, who chose the week in March when Jeremy Corbyn’s popularity eclipsed David Cameron’s to claim that the Labour leader was bad for the party…

Who stated on Twitter in the same month that Mr Corbyn was a “f**king disaster” at Prime Minister’s Questions…

And who, in September, accused Mr Corbyn of drawing up a “deselection list” likely to lead to MPs being targeted for abuse…

… thinks the UK should use its enormous military might to scare Russia out of its own military action in Syria.

The man is an embarrassment.

Not only do his words demonstrate his ignorance of the facts – that the UK’s military capability pales into insignificance compared to Russia’s; that Russia is in Syria at the request of that country’s government; and that any UK action against Russia or the Syrian government would put us on the wrong side of international law…

Not only that, but he is ignoring the underlying reasons for Russia’s involvement in the conflict, which appears to be about the theft – or at least ownership – of huge petrochemical resources.

If these assets were taken over by western powers, it would seriously dent Russia’s sales to western countries, with a consequential knock-on effect on that country’s economy.

So Russia has a very strong reason to stay in Syria, keeping western countries out by its presence.

And John Woodcock thinks the threat of action by the UK military is going to make them reconsider?

Not a chance.

It might make them think of targeting the UK, though. Russia has been showing off some of its nuclear-capable weapons system in Kaliningrad, but those have a range of just 700 miles.

Mr Putin might be persuaded to wheel out a few intercontinental missiles, all in honour of John Woodcock and his amazing military strategy.

The Labour Party is supposed to be all about unity, now that Jeremy Corbyn has won another leadership election.

But who wants to be in the same room as a blabbermouth like John Woodcock?

MPS are calling for British military action to stop Putin’s air assault on eastern Aleppo.

Labour‘s John Woodcock , secretary of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Friends of Syria, also demanded an emergency parliamentary debate in a bid to end the violence.

And he urged Theresa May to get the ball rolling when Parliament is recalled.

Mr Woodcock called for British air strikes on Assad’s military bases found to have violated “no-fly zones” to bomb Aleppo. He said: “Russia has to know there will be consequences if they continue to act in this way.

“A ‘no-bombing zone’ proposal would say clearly to Russia and Syria, ‘Every time you drop barrel bombs on civilians, we will attack a regime target. Our firepower is greater than yours’.

“There should be an emergency debate to persuade the Government to act.”

jtzoonie and yes i am a carer too i been for 5 wca i have copd a dvt recurrent and many other problems. i take 18,00 iu of heparin every day just to be alive but all my neighbors report me regular because they tell every one i am pulling a scam. i can hardley move or breathe.

You have accused Assad of being vile. On what evidence do you make such a brazen claim – our Mainstream Media?
Do you even know how the Muslim Brotherhood were invited to the party in Syria or how they then were moved to Libya to make room for al Qaeda? Or that the march, which was in protest at the number of Syrians leaving the drought ridden farmlands poured into the cities in 2008? Do you actually know anything about Syria. Do you know who invented the barrel bombs – here’s a clue – it was not the Syrians but the ones who stole the Golan Heights and are fighting alongside ISIS to keep them. Are you aware that the only fighting forces in Syria with white phosphorous are ISIS?
The US has war hawks who think it’s OK to slaughter 500 Iraqi children with the likes of rent a gob psychos like Madelaine Allbright and Samantha Powers and we have Blair and Woodcock, who probably couldn’t find his own arse with both hands. Woodcock has no clue about NFZ’s and even s clue about what is really happening in Syria.https://consortiumnews.com/2016/09/29/how-the-us-armed-up-syrian-jihadists/https://web.archive.org/web/20160919220844/http://fortunascorner.com/2016/09/15/u-s-special-forces-sabotage-white-house-policy-gone-disastrously-wrong-with-covert-ops-in-syria/

Register Of All-Party Parliamentary Groups [as at 3 June 2016]
Friends of Syria

All-Party Parliamentary Group for Friends of Syria
Purpose
To build a greater understanding in Parliament of the current conflict in Syria and to allow parliamentarians to discuss the diplomatic, humanitarian and military options for UK policy.

Yes, Russia was invited in, we weren’t; the West has armed and trained ‘rebels’ with links to ISIS, and prior to Russia being invited in most of the Wests bombing had been on Assad’s forces and not on ‘the rebels’!

The West’s only viewpoint is about regime change and not ending the war in Syria!

John Woodcock is just another Blairit all mouth and no brains sat on a gravy train and all this Anti-Russia pumped out by the US and followed by its lap dog the UK is going to take us into a war the consequences of which I hate to think and for what so the US can take over the world

we are dangerously close to WW3, what does this muppet think we are going to achieve here, now, at this point in a 5 year long struggle? We should have gone in from the outset, but no, they voted against early intervention when it could have made a difference, and now? The US broke the ceasefire, we are on VERY DODGY GROUND HERE!!!

I’ve edited your comment to remove the swearing; if you continue to swear in your comments, they won’t appear.
You’re simplifying the issues.
If we were simply dealing with a despotic regime, that would suggest one course of action.
But we have a despotic regime and a murderous terrorist organisation, at each other’s throats, with innocent people caught in the crossfire.
Russia is involved because the Syrian government requested it.
There is the underlying issue of the Americans wanting to grab oil supplies.
It is not as clear-cut as you are suggesting.
But you are certainly correct that we are all on dodgy ground.

We have a rule here that anybody asking about their comment has their comment removed.
All comments are queued for moderation – which must take place on this site because otherwise silly people try to abuse the system. Sometimes it takes longer to get to them than others. In such a situation, anyone trying to jump the queue with a remark intended to prompt me into action finds their comment deleted.

He really does make the case for deselection. If his continuous abuse of our twice elected party leader wasn’t enough, now he wants us to start WW3. He’s a vile little man that our party should be glad to see the back of. And as Labour party members we should be demanding that the party take action against this type of war mongering rhetoric from MP’s like Woodcock who’s values are obviously not consistent with the majority of party members.
